(Get the code!)
I haven't done a totally fresh install in a while, but I had a situation simiar to comment 7 from Mark McCoy.
I live in Duluth, MN, USA and the closest city to me that is in the same time zone is actually in Canada. While I understood at the time I was selecting based on time zone, I didn't expect it to default all of my weather settings to metric... That was something I got over easily as it was easy to change.
It took me forever to realize however why my dates were always displayed in a non-US format in OO Calc. It caused a certain amount of problems with some spreadsheets I had to do for work even, as I would type a date such as July 4, as 7/4/09, and it would interpret the date was April 7.
I hope the region thing Michael Terry wrote about helps remedy this. What a nightmare!
